Transverse Nonlinear Vibration of a Vertical Cantilever Considering Its Self-weight and Vibration Reduction via Nonlinear Energy Sink

This paper develops a transverse nonlinear vibration model for a vertical cantilever that accounts for self-weight and demonstrates that a nonlinear energy sink significantly reduces forced vibrations, with numerical results showing that self-weight has a limited effect on the system's natural frequencies and mode shapes.

Vibration Amplification Mechanism and Theoretical Mitigation Strategy for Feedwater Flow Meter Brackets in Nuclear Power Plants

This paper proposes and validates a theoretical forward-design strategy combining stiffness reinforcement, length reduction, and elastic mounting to mitigate excessive low-frequency vibrations in nuclear power plant feedwater flow meter brackets, successfully shifting natural frequencies and reducing vibration acceleration by 18.4 to 26.4 dB.

Zonal Synergistic Control of Surrounding Rock in Deep Soft-Rock Roadways Based on Strong–Weak Bearing Structures

This paper proposes and validates a zonal synergistic control strategy for deep soft-rock roadways that leverages the residual self-bearing capacity of damaged rock by dividing the surrounding mass into distinct weak, stable, and strong bearing layers, thereby significantly reducing deformation and plastic zone extent through optimized support design.

Shadow-Price Formation and Battery Storage Co-Optimization in a Renewable-Rich National Grid: A KKT-Based Mixed-Integer Programming Approach for Sri Lanka

This study proposes a KKT-based mixed-integer optimization framework that co-optimizes battery storage and generator dispatch within Sri Lanka's national grid, demonstrating that direct embedding of storage into the dispatch model effectively captures economic arbitrage and reduces renewable curtailment while highlighting the need for capacity planning based on actual system flexibility rather than average conditions.

Seismic analysis of steel beam encased column composite – Open vs closed geometry

This study evaluates the seismic performance of steel beam encased column composite frames with open (I-section) and closed (hollow square) geometries through 1:3 scaled shake table tests and SeismoStruct numerical validation, demonstrating that these composite systems offer superior stiffness-to-weight ratios, ductility, and economic efficiency compared to conventional reinforced concrete structures.

A sensitivity workflow for interlayer dwell-time screening in sparse open WAAM data

This study reanalyzes sparse wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) data to demonstrate that interlayer dwell-time limits vary significantly by material and metric, advocating for a sensitivity-based screening workflow that treats geometric, radiographic, and hardness evidence as separate streams rather than enforcing a single process threshold.

Sensitivity of Reservoir Property Predictions to Loss Function Geometry: A Robustness and Bias Analysis

This study demonstrates that employing asymmetric loss functions in deep learning models significantly improves the accuracy and robustness of short-term offshore reservoir production forecasting, particularly by reducing underprediction errors during complex transient events like well shut-ins compared to conventional symmetric loss approaches.
